Default Re: vega steering box...

Had flaming river alum. vega broke in half on second pass when let off gas @ 1/8 mi.
I was very blessed car weaved and vibrated but stayed straight till about 5-10 mph thats when I realized I did'nt have any steering where I was did'nt have guardrail or wall after finish line and just rolled off in grass. The alum. it was made of was looked like junk it was dark gray and very porous material and no thicker than cast iron box is. I put a GM vega box back on.I can't give you any conversion tips my car is G-body.
Flaming river told me was'nt made for drag car,I asked what it's for then?
they said street,I thought if it breaks on drag car that pulls 3" wheelie maybe hows it going to handle a pot hole or curves?
